* Optional LZO1X compression of network traffic, to make distcc
faster on slow or overloaded networks. This is turned on by
appending ",lzo" to each host specification.
* The daemon by default allows 2+NCPUS, rather than 3*NCPUS. The
two extras are to allow for some processes to be blocked on
network IO, but allowing more than two of them is probably not
useful on multiprocessor machines.
* Larger files are sent and received using memory mappings where
possible.
* Use of mmap and compression makes distcc substantially faster in
at least some cases.
* Bug fixes

* New program distccmon-text shows the state of any distcc
processes run by the current user. It can be run by hand or
read by a shell script. Should be popular with vmstat fans.
* The standalone daemon now "preforks" before accepting
connections to reduce per-request overhead. Can be disabled by
--no-prefork, which restores the standard Unix behaviour.
* Bug fixes
* And much more..

* If $DISTCC_HOSTS is not set, the host list is taken from from
~/.distcc/hosts, if that exists, or otherwise $sysconfdir/distcc/hosts.
* Add --listen option to distccd, to control which IP address is
used to listen for connections. May be useful for access
control on dual-homed machines.

* lots of bug fixes

distcc is a program to distribute compilation of C or C++ code across
several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the same
results as a local compile, is simple to install and use, and is often
two or more times faster than a local compile.
distcc does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have
synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files
installed. Machines can be running different operating systems, as long
as they have compatible binary formats or cross-compilers.
